Détails:
Douglas Dakota KN409 was on a delivery flight from North America to Europe through Reykjavik, Iceland and Prestwick, Scotland. Its ETA at Prestwick was 08:13Z on 28 March 1945.
The last radio contact with the aircraft was at 09:29Z on 28 March when the aircraft was over the cone at Prestwick at 4000 feet and the normal instructions were given for the aircraft to let down on the south west leg of the radio range and to advise further when contact was made. No further contact was made with the aircraft.
Later various items of documents and mail were recovered from the beach between Troon and Irvine, Ayrshire, which were identified with KN409. It was presumed that the aircraft crashed in the sea 4 miles west of Irvine, with no trace of the crew being found, who were lost at sea.
